The Biden Administration’s latest failure has made history. After economists predicted there would be one million new jobs added to the economy, the actual numbers came in at a dismal 266,000. That makes it the worst miss in history and a pathetic showing for Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” strategy. Not only did we not add anywhere near the number of jobs expected, but the unemployment rate actually went up to 6.1% despite there being over 8.1 million job openings according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The reason this is happening can be directly linked to Joe Biden and the Democratic Party’s insistence on showering people with higher “unemployment” benefits for an extended amount of time and multiple stimulus checks. Right now, you can make more money sitting at home than you can by doing many service jobs that need filling, and even if you cannot, some people have decided that making less money to do nothing is better than making more money to actually work. Why bother when you can sit on your butt and make $2400 a month along with a stimulus check or 2 or 3?
This is a failure of leadership from the top down, starting with Joe Biden, who is utterly incapable of doing his job as president.
Or is it?
What I see is the Democrats’ path to Socialism.
Saul Alinsky helped paved that path. He was a “Community Activist” that studied socialism in order to provoke change. He started making waves in the late 1960’s and later published his book “Rules for Radicals” in 1971. Liberal politicians like Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reserved praise for Alinsky, noting that his writings influenced “those in political control of our nation today” Hillary Clinton wrote her college thesis on Saul Alinsky and Obama followed Alinsky’s tactics to teach his own followers the ins and outs of community activism.
According to Saul Alinsky, “The first step in community organization is community disorganization. The disruption of the present organization is the first step toward community organization. Present arrangements must be disorganized if they are to be displace by new patterns…. All change means disorganization of old and organization of the new. An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent… He must create a mechanism that can drain off the underlying guilt for having accepted the previous situation for so long a time. Out of this mechanism, a new community organization arises….”
In Saul Alinsky’s book, “Rules for Radicals”, 8 levels of control are needed to achieve a Socialist State.
1) Healthcare: Control the people’s health and you control the people. We saw that with Obama Care and the so called “Affordable Health Care Act” that saw our healthcare rates skyrocket and the quality-of-care plummet. President Trump tried to repeal Obama Care while in office but ran into too many Democrat roadblocks to repeal it and put the healthcare back in charge of the free market.
2) Poverty: Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you give them what they need to live. We have a homeless problem that is the worst in American history and now we are opening the borders to allow more people in that will have nowhere to go. Illegals will either become homeless themselves or take away much needed resources from our current homeless US citizens.
3) Debt: Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you can increase taxes, which in turn will generate even more poverty. Remember in 2008 when Obama said this about President Bush?
“The problem is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years, is to take out a credit card from the bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion in the first 42 presidents. Number 43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome. So, we now have over $9 trillion in debt that we are going to have to pay back. $30,000 for every man woman and child. It’s irresponsible! It’s unpatriotic!”
Joe Biden has added $7.7 trillion in his first 100 days alone with plans to add another $3 trillion in spending! Currently we have a national debt of $28.1 trillion or $84,895 for every citizen to pay back. If George Bush was unpatriotic then what do we call Joe Biden?
4) Gun Control: Remove the ability of people to defend themselves from the Government. That way you can create a police state. The Biden administration is working hard at taking away our guns and has proposed the 1934 NFA Act, it imposes an annual $200 federal tax stamp mandate for every high-capacity magazine that American gun owners currently own. This is also a conniving way to track who owns what type of guns so they can be confiscated later.
5) Welfare: Take control of every aspect of a person’s life (Food, Housing, Jobs and Income) To quote liberal actress Jane Fonda, “COVID is God’s Gift to the Left” It gave the Democrat controlled government the ability to shut down the economy with many small businesses being the victims of their tyrannical control. This gave them the prime opportunity to appear sympathetic while disguising the stimulus checks and increasing unemployment benefits for what it really was – a dependency on the government and further expanding the welfare state.
6) Education: Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children study in school. The “1619 Project” is a disgusting school curriculum which is part of “Critical Race Theory” that is being forced into our schools’ grades K-12. It is a divisive way to throw away our history and claim that every white person is born a racist. Many schools are forcing students to put in writing to list their ways of “White Privilege” and to apologize to fellow non-white students. This is remarkably similar to the way the Nazis brainwashed children against their own parents and to cultivate a strong hatred of the Jews resulting in the loss of about two thirds of the Jewish population in Europe between 1940-1945 or about 7 million people. It is no wonder the left wishes to erase history.
7) Religion: Remove the belief in God from Government and schools. According to Karl Marx. Religion is the “opium of the people,” It teaches them hope and forgiveness, but communism and socialism operates under an engine of hate, envy, and rage. We have seen this rage full on as we witness daily the lack of morals in our society that is BLM and Antifa.
8) Class Warfare: Divide the people into wealthy and poor. This will cause discontent and make it easier to increase taxes across the board without losing the support of the poor by making everyone think you will only tax the rich! I already mentioned the “Critical Race Theory” that teaches hate and division starting in kindergarten. But to implement class warfare you must create jealousy and envy to garner the hatred that will tear apart our nation. “Tax the Rich!”, they say. Why? Because they have more than other people do. It does not matter that the people who have more often work harder and sacrifice more. That the ones crying for equality are the same one’s dependent on the welfare state that was created to keep them down and not lift them up. It is key to a Socialist State – redistribute wealth – not to bring the lower class up, but to bring the middle class down. In a Socialist State there exists the ruling class with the money and power and then there is everyone else.
For those that think this may not be true and that the left wants to re-write history in their quest for power all one has to do is look to Florida and Governor Ron DeSantis. Why are the Democrats and the mainstream media out to destroy him? He handled COVID better than anyone else. He was the first to actually follow the science and he opened up his state faster than any other state and with better results. He saved Florida’s’ economy despite it being heavily dependent on tourism. Schools are open. Small businesses are open. But the thing that is a thorn in the Democrats side is that he is countering the Democrats moves on many of the 8 Socialist Agenda items that I just went over.
He is outspoken against illegal immigration in which case he stated, “The Biden administration’s abdication of responsibility to enforce America’s immigration laws reflects your disregard for public safety and the rule of law, which our state cannot endorse.”
Regarding gun control Governor DeSantis passed a bill that bans local and federal governments from imposing their own gun regulations, basically ensuring that Gun Control is implemented like it is supposed to be – at a state level.
In the case of “Critical Race Theory” Governor DeSantis was the first to ban it from being implemented into schools in Florida stating, “Critical Race Theory” would no longer be permitted in the state’s public schools. He denounced the curriculum as divisive, racist, and anti-American. “There’s no room in our classrooms for things like critical race theory,” he said. “Teaching kids to hate their country and to hate each other is not worth one red cent of taxpayer money.”
Governor DeSantis also took on the expansion of the Democrats welfare state and has since re-instated unemployment guidelines by not allowing COVID to be used as an excuse to not look for a job. “Normally when you’re getting unemployment, the whole idea is that’s temporary, and you need to be looking for work to be able to get off unemployment,” DeSantis said at a news conference. “It was a disaster, so we suspended those job search requirements. I think it’s pretty clear now, we have an abundance of job openings.” As a result, the Florida unemployment rate is below the national average.
We are at a crossroads. The Democrats used COVID as an excuse to ram Socialism down our throats and to shred our Constitution in the process. But there is hope as long as we open our eyes and ears and see what is happening and listen to those that fight for our God given freedoms like Governor Ron DeSantis and look for many other leaders like him.
